Jack White Shoots Down White Stripes Reunion Now Or Ever

"Absolutely no chance."

In a recently published interview with NMEJack White was naturally asked whether there would be any chance down the line that The White Stripes would someday return. White dismissed such a possiblity:

"I would probably say absolutely not. Absolutely no chance. I couldn't see any reason to ever do that. I'm not the kind of person that would retire from baseball and come out of retirement the next year. I mean, if we went to all the trouble of telling people we're done, we meant it you know? ... If we were forced to change our mind about that, I can only imagine the reason being if we went bankrupt or really needed the cash, which would be a really sad thing. I would probably be issuing an apology along with the announcement of the show dates."

In the lead-up to his solo debut Blunderbuss on April 24, this probably won't be the only time White will have to deflect such similiarly themed questions from the media. Here's hoping they'll at least play at their inevitable Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
